character-depth

What problem does it solve?

Authors often struggle to create believable, multi-dimensional characters. This skill enforces a structured set of six elements for every major character to ensure depth and consistency across the narrative.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enforces six core elements for each major character: Wound/Ghost, Psychological Backstory, Origin of Motivation, Internal Contradictions, Defense Mechanisms, and Vulnerability Triggers.
• Guides character profiling and outlining workflows for novels, screenplays, and long-form fiction.
• Helps maintain narrative coherence by making character motivations, fears, and defenses explicit and testable.

Quick Start

Create a complete character profile for your protagonist that includes their Wound/Ghost, backstory, origin of motivation, internal contradictions, defense mechanisms, and vulnerability triggers.
